Jazz Carlin had a stellar 2016 season as she became Team GB's first double medallist of the Rio 2016 Games after taking silver in both the Women's 400m and 800m Freestyle.

This
year saw the double Olympic silver medallist return to domestic action at the
British Swimming Championships where she secured gold in the 800m Freestyle to
retain her title and she also came home with a silver and a bronze medal.

Her Olympic results mirrored those achieved at the LEN European Aquatics Championships in London earlier in 2016 as she again claimed continental silvers over the 400m and 800m Freestyle.

The 2016 British Championships saw Jazz retain her British titles as she claimed gold in the Women's 200m, 400m and 800m Freestyle events.

Three Domestic titles at the
British Championships in London, 200m, 400m, and 800m Freestyle were all hers. She
then headed out to her fourth World Championships in Russia where she took
bronze in the 800m Freestyle.

Jazz hit
top form in 2014, winning the Commonwealth, European and British titles over
800m Freestyle as well as European and British gold and Commonwealth silver in
the 400m Freestyle, lowering her Welsh records over 200m, 400m and 800m Freestyle over
the course of the season.

2013 was
the comeback season for Jazz, bouncing back with a hat-trick of golds across 400m, 800m and 1500m
Freestyle at the 2013 British Gas Swimming Championships then a fourth-place
finish in the 400m Freestyle at the 2013 World Championships in Barcelona.

The
combination of recurring tonsillitis and glandular fever disrupted her progress
during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, preventing her from qualifying for her first
Olympics.

Jazz's international breakthrough came in 2009 when she was selected for the
World Championship team after two bronze medals and a silver at the British
Swimming Championships in Sheffield. The Welsh
swimmer immediately made her mark at the highest level, helping the British
4 x 200m Freestyle Relay quartet to bronze in Rome.
